The illustration below shows the
recommended hookup for the tool .
1 . The air compressor
must be able to
maintain a minimum
of 60 psi when the
tool is being used . An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving .
2 . An oiler can be
used to provide oil
circulation through
the tool . A filter can
be used to remove liquid and solid
impurities which can rust or “gum
up” internal parts of the tool .
3 . Always use air supply hoses with
a minimum working pressure
rating equal to or greater than the
pressure from the power source if a
regulator fails, or 200 psi, whichever
is greater . Use 1/4 inch air hose for
runs up to 50 feet . Use 3/8 inch air
hoses for 50 foot run or longer .
4 . Use a pressure regulator on the
compressor, with an operating
pressure of 0 psi - 125 psi . A pressure
regulator is required to control
the operating pressure of the tool
between 60 psi and 90 psi .

This impact wrench is equipped with
several power (speed) settings . Use the
switch on the rear of the tool to select
the proper setting before operating
tool . The tool has 4 power(speed)
settings on the regulator, and forward
and reverse settings on the valve stem
above the trigger . Do not change
settings while tool is running .
spEED aDJUsTMEnT
An impact wrench should never be used
to set torque . Use a torque wrench to
set the torque .
To remove lugs or bolts, set the
regulator to the maximum setting .
When installing, always use a torque
wrench to attain the proper torque of
the lugs or bolts .
When
reassembling be
careful not to overtighten. Bolts
may fail or cause a hazardous
condition. Be sure to set the
regulator to the minimum setting
then use a torque wrench to set
torque.
noTE:
It is not recommended to install
a quick coupler between the tool and
the whip hose .
Using fittings or air hoses which are
too small can create a pressure drop
and reduce the power of the tool . For
3/8, 1/2 and 3/4 inch impact wrenches
use 3/8 inch (I .D .) fittings with 1/4 inch
NPT threads . Most compressors are
shipped with a short, 1/4 inch I .D . hose .
For proper performance and more
convenience, use a 3/8 inch I .D . hose .
Hoses longer than 50 feet should have a
1/2 inch I .D .
Never carry a tool
by the hose or
pull the hose to move the tool or a
compressor. Keep hoses away from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace
any hose that is damaged, weak or
worn.
